Now White is the main power unit of the whole boat!
On a narrow raft, a beige Labrador desperately paws the water with its small paws. Later White found it was troublesome and dove straight into the water and pushed the raft along.
Raine twisted and turned desperately to ensure the direction of navigation was always in the right place.
Finally, White pushed Raine to the designated position after a whole lot of trouble.
As far as he could see, there were several pieces of wood on the surface of the sea and several scattered objects all over the place.
"What's going on? A shipwreck? No matter, quick, White, get a piece of wood and make the water purification device first!"
Although White was exhausted, now that victory was at hand. Seeing so many supplies, White also pulled out all of his strength and led Raine to start collecting these supplies.
[Wood +0.4]
Raine took a look at the piece of wood. It was a little shorter than the length of his bamboo pole, so he guessed it didn't meet the system's requirements for standard wood and could only be counted as 0.4 units.
[Wood +0.7]
[Ding, wood +2]
"Wow! Add 2! This one's long!" Raine was instantly energized, and even more exciting was that there were still quite a few things on the sea surface waiting for him to collect them.
"White, take a break first while I make a seawater purification device!"
[Small Simple Seawater Purification Device in the making...]
[Device made]
In less than ten seconds, a small "house" with a triangular roof appeared on Raine's hull.
The bottom of the house is a square wooden box with sides about 30cm long. The top of the box is a pyramidal roof of triangles on four sides. The roof's edge extends slightly beyond the box's edge, and four rectangular wooden grooves form a circle around the roof's edge.
[This device adopts the principle of the distillation method. The wooden box is used to hold seawater. Under the closed environment, the partial pressure of water inside the wooden box container is greater than the external partial pressure, which accelerates the evaporation of seawater. The steam is collected by the fish skin at the top of the device and condensed into water droplets, which slide down the slope angle and enter the storage tank. Then the water purification is completed.]
[The triangular cooling roof and the inside of the storage tank are all affixed with fish skin, which is conducive to steam cooling and collection. Please do not damage the surface of the fish skin. Open the wooden plug under the storage tank when taking water, the water will flow out automatically and can be consumed directly. When purifying seawater, make sure the plug is plugged in.]
All the fish skin is used inside; no wonder Raine can't see it.
This device uses the principle of evaporating water to form pure distilled water. Although it is not as violent as boiling water to 100 degrees Celsius, the temperature can reach 40 to 50 degrees Celsius during the day. It can even exceed 50 to 60 degrees under direct sunlight.
Raine was confused, but that's not the point. The point is the water purification device is completed!
Having completed the water purification device, Raine rushed to have White collect some seawater into the wooden box and start purifying it.
Strangely enough, Raine could see inside the device when he wanted to look at what was happening.
The heat outside caused the seawater to evaporate and raised the pressure inside the container. The water vapor condensed into droplets when it met the skin of the roofed fish and slid down the inclined angle into the reservoir... After ten minutes, a shallow stream of water had accumulated in the reservoir, and after another ten minutes, there was quite a lot of drinking water!
"White, there's water to drink! Pull out the stopper with your mouth! Don't bite it. It'll be useful later!"
White wobbled to the device, found the wooden plug, carefully bit it and unplugged the device.
Just after loosening the plug, water started flowing out of the box.
White hurriedly stuck out his tongue to lick it.
"Don't lick it. That's too wasteful. Just open your mouth and catch it!"
White was a very smart boy and understood Raine's words immediately.
The sweet and pure water flowed into his mouth in an endless stream.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much water. It didn't take long to finish but White keep licking the spout.
"Well, there's no water. Do you really think you can lick water from this little hole?" Raine suddenly realized that something was wrong with his words.
There wasn't much water, but at least it was clean. Now Raine was finally relieved to have water and food. White's survival problem is finally solved and he doesn't have to worry as much anymore.
After drinking some water and resting for an hour, White's dehydration symptoms improved. The little one understood that he had to use his paws to plow through the water and help Raine collect the remaining supplies from the sea.
Although they were slow, it was good that Raine was moving.
[Obtained wood +0.6]
[Obtained a plastic bottle +1]
[Obtained wood +2]
"Evolution points 4.7 now!"
[Obtained ladies bra +1]
"Eh? A lady's bra? White, you're quite a good fisherman, this thing seems to have wire so I could use it somehow."
[Obtained human underwear +1]
"Holy shit, what the hell is this? Throw it ... no, no, no, I can't throw it. I can make it into a rope and keep it. Damn it. I'm becoming a pervert now!"
[Obtained antibiotic medicine +1]
"This is good. Let's see if there are any more medicines out there."
......
The azure sky gradually darkened. Their salvaging work was finally successfully completed. At this time, White has been pillowed on the lady's bra in a deep sleep due to too much fatigue.
The simple seawater purification device was still working non-stop. Still, the evaporation effect was much worse at night, but it was possible to make some clean water overnight so that White would have water to drink in the morning.
The narrow space of the raft is littered with miscellaneous items. Clothes, plastic bottles, a life preserver, and a pile of wood.
But Raine couldn't carry all the weight of these supplies, so he had to tie them behind him with a rope and have it follow him with the waves.
Raine hadn't slept yet, he wasn't sure he wanted to.
In this Azure Age, it was important always to keep a clear head drifting alone on the ocean. From that point of view, sleep was still essential.
Although Raine was tired now, he had more important things to do.
"Open the Basic Information menu," Raine said wearily.

Raine almost cried when he saw the last line.
Although he had picked up so much wood, he had waited too long for this moment.
Taking a deep breath, a mouthful of water filled into the hollow bamboo of the raft front, and Raine felt himself choking(Not really)... "Cough cough cough, damn, I forgot I was in the sea."
"Evolve!"
